Subject: Very good WOS recording, pretty good 74 show

Not the highest level show, but it has some great stretches. Playin' was the jamming centerpiece of many a show in this period, and such is the case here. A very solid Scarlet Begonias stands out in an otherwise pedestrian first set (prior to Playin', of course). China>Rider is another highlight. Eyes is pretty standard 74 and not as good as the one played just a few nights earlier in Louisville (6-18).

The sound -- well, it's give and take in this period. This one's clear, with no noticeable hiss, and all the tonal instruments can be heard clearly, but the drums are very low in the mix. You can stream a soundboard instead, and you'll hear the drums fine, but Bob's guitar often drops out.

+1 for wall of sound aud recording. Somehow these recordings can be more emotionally involving than sbd and when you turn this up and your ears adjust to the sound, you'll find yourself feeling happy.

Subject: A nice pair

These two miami shows(22 and 23 June) capture the wall of sound in all its monster glory.You just dont get the feeling with sbds,they sound too sterile and empty compared to good auds or even better,matrixes..Between the shows are all the big numbers played out in fine 74 style..Highlights being a giant PITB at 28mins.Chinacat>Rider,nice n jammed out with an eyes n wharf rat in set two..I recommend downloading both shows for a good taste of 74 magic..BTW the sound quality is top notch for outdoor aud recording.

Subject: under rated

This is one of the best sounding Aud's ive heard. Pretty standard show for mid 74, which is okay by me!

Subject: Deal

Jerry's vox on "Deal" are fantastic. Great feel to this show.

Subject: Sweet Sound

Very crisp and clean, listening to China Rider right now, and its nice, mellow and just all around beautiful 74' dead. Awesome, the 5 stars is for people to notice this little gem.

Subject: Good Old One

Hard to find these decent sounding 70's shows.

Oh man, thanx for this wonderful recording of this show. It sounds great...way better than the cassette I had of it. Took me a long time to find it, but good things come to those who wait.

Killer summer show especially 2nd set. Johnny B. Goode encore had to leave everyone on a high waiting for next night at the old Fronton.
